Darren Kelly has been sacked as Oldham Athletic manager after just seven league matches in charge of the club.

Kelly was appointed as manager back in May and has spent just over four months as boss. His final match saw his team lose 5-1 at home to Peterborough United earlier today.

In a statement, the club said: "The Board of Directors would like to place on record their thanks to Darren for his contribution to the development of the club during his tenure and wish him well for the future.

"The club will not be seeking any applications for the role of first team manager at this time and can also confirm that all the current coaching staff will remain in their respective roles."

He leaves having won one of his seven league games, drawing four, and losing two.
